Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

The infamous 'meat tunnel' was constructed from $12 of deli scraps and expired medical supplies from a nurse's apartment.

Insight

Critics initially dismissed it as 'torture porn,' but the 2019 restoration revealed it as a prescient allegory for gig-economy exploitation of creative labor.
